Yesterday, I got my first iMac. I’ve been waiting to make the switch for a long time now (around 15 years I guess), but I finally have. 
I’m absolutely thrilled with the purchase. It’s going to take a while to make the conversion as I’m so used to a PC, but already I’m finding the iMac relatively easy to use.
I made an appointment with a personal shopper in the Stanford Apple store. Fantastic service, the guy really knew his stuff. I even got really into the deep technical questions and threw some curve balls around PC and Mac wireless networking, filesharing and DNLA, but nothing seemed to phase him.
I walked out with a shiny new 24″ iMac with the following:
- 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 4GB memory
- 1TB hard drive
- 8x double-layer SuperDrive
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory
- Microsoft Mac:Office 2008
Took it home, the setup was straight forward and even though the Apple Store offered to do it for me, I now begin the long road of transferring all my files from PC to Mac. I thought I might as well throw myself in at the deep end. Watch this space.

Nice!!!
now you just need to install fusion, you can then vpn into work and remote to your laptop at work. I never bring my laptop home anymore, just leave it at work and remote into it running fusion in fullscreen.
Too bad you couldn’t see how the new macs transfer your files from an old mac. It brought everything over from my old mac. All the same apps were transferred (even 3rd party apps) with preferences and so on. Totally impressed.
What’s Dean’s take? Thoroughly disgusted, I am sure.
